  • Yes, and that paragraph completely contradicts an earlier one.

    It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they’d have it in a couple of seconds.

    They’re not asking you because they want you to “polish the text” from AI. They could also do that themselves.


  • Using AI to automate tasks that could be automated with a script is awful. And if the endpoints are there for AI to trigger actions, then a simple script could use those same endpoints to do the same thing.

    Using AI to help write the script? (Strong emphasis on “help”) Ok, maybe in some scenarios.

    But just constantly running AI to do shit is like firing up your big diesel pickup to go down the block to visit your neighbors, except in this case the diesel truck can’t even be trusted to reliably take you to your neighbors every time you want to go there. There’s always the chance it’s going to decide to go somewhere else.




  • Resproxies are not inherently illegal. Some are used for evading censorship by routing internet traffic through ordinary looking residential homes. AI companies, for example, increasingly rely on resproxies to scrape data from multiple places on the internet in one go to train their AI models.

    I “love” how that paragraph tries to paint AI companies use of hijacked residential TV’s to avoid being detected as they scrape the web for training data to steal as some kind of legitimate use of hijacked TV’s.

    Pro tip to Zack Whittaker, the Techcrucnh author: There is NO legitimate use of someone else’s Internet connection without their knowledge and approval. Full stop.
